		<description><![CDATA[Last week I encouraged Google to rethink their VP8 open sourcing patent strategy and &#8220;do the right open standards thing — join and contribute to responsible standards groups that are working to solve the royalty-free open standards need.&#8221; The blog was picked up in Simon Phipps&#8217; ComputerWorld blog, ZDNet, The Register, LWN and elsewhere.

		<description><![CDATA[It is gratifying to see the FCC Broadband Plan include an open set top recommendation (4.12), firmly grounded in the FCC&#8217;s continuing responsibility to implement section 629 of the 1996 Telco Act to &#8220;assure the commercial availability&#8221; of TV devices from retail and unaffiliated sources. And welcome words in the frank acknowledgment that over 14 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Standards &#8220;would thwart, not advance, innovation&#8221; and &#8220;entail crippling delays&#8221;  because they are &#8220;extremely time consuming, often divisive, and sometimes used by one faction to block the progress of another or to promote its own intellectual property portfolio&#8221;. It would be easy to dismiss comments like these in the Cable industry&#8217;s latest response to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve pointed out how the EBU, the world&#8217;s largest organization of national broadcasters, is beating the drum to avoid patent lock-ins in new standards for hybrid broadcast-broadband TV services. EBU&#8217;s own write-up of last week&#8217;s EBU/ETSI workshop is even more direct: &#8220;Broadcasters are haunted by the ghosts of the submarine patents which emerged with MHP [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A “Julius Stonian” observation:  standards groups aren&#8217;t &#8220;consensus organizations&#8221;, they are political organizations. Winners declare their way the &#8220;consensus&#8221;, and changes in political context shift the &#8220;consensus&#8221;.

Worse, it was likely converted from a standards-based format to a proprietary format before it was put on the Internet! (The tip-off is that the closed-captioning overlay was already composited in). Clearly, a proprietary broadband internet would [...]]]></description>
